Week 2 Change remote computing toolbox & Python learning

WEEK 2

Date: 7 February 2020
Place: EE Building, 3th floor/ Room 304, 2P22

Before lab

l  All of us were learning how to use raspberry system since none of us used it before.

l  We started learning Python3 since we would use it to write the automatic part’s program.

During lab

l  Achieve SSH of pi via Wi-Fi and change remote computing toolbox from Putty to Mobaxterm.



l  Download all the files we need into raspberry pi.
l  Try to use Arduino and Raspberry pi together but decide to use pi to control all of the function finally.
l  Start working on the manual control part, and the first function we want to achieve is remote motoring.

Problem and solution

In the beginning, we wanted to implement web control using Webiopi a web framework that can control Raspberry Pi GPIO. It did not work and we found out the reason is that the Webiopi official website was no longer updated, and the latest version of the official website did not support Raspberry Pi 2B and later versions, so we decided to implement web control through Python bottle, which was a tiny Python web framework.
